Tie your tether on (the knot keeps slipping out) |
|
Eyes wide, breathe deep, blood flow, push through |
|
Expand to keep, contract & rue |
|
Pools round your feet, eyes with circles |
|
You were a sweet pursuit held fast with city roots |
|
Neglected by the chute, our gaze is rendered mute |
|
Feel a tender warmth & numbness |
|
Blissfully detached from all this |
|
Noise & dust from absent makers |
|
Made beds to sleep with forsakers |
|
These words are not mine, I just put them in a line |
|
& hang them down like vines, all letters dry with time |
|
Use them for little white lies, clearer in sheltered sighs |
|
With clumsy hopeful tries, they help make you your size |
